Rollie reveals CINP-TCCP-IND new government
(CNS): André Ebanks (WBS) will be the Cayman Islands’ next premier. After a day of rumour and speculation, Rolston “Rollie” Anglin (WBN) has said that the four newly elected CINP MPs, the four TCCP MPs, plus Jay Ebanks, Isaac Rankine and himself have agreed to inform the governor that they have come to an agreement. CNS understands that a formal statement will be coming shortly.
In a letter to his election committee, Anglin wrote: “After much thought, prayers and overwhelming feedback from the public, I came to the inescapable conclusion that this was the best government for our beloved Cayman Islands. Whilst I have friends in the PPM, it was clear that the people of West Bay and West Bay North did not want them back in government.
“I’m also happy to report that I will be the Minister of Finance and Education. This is a really positive development for our beloved country. Whilst I was indirectly offered some more prominent roles, I had to do what I felt was best for Cayman, not for me personally.”
Check back to CNS shortly for the full story.

Thanks be to God McKeeva is out and beaten by a woman at that. A woman who he reffered to as a trainee. Big congrats Julie! Hope and pray this Government will do what they have been saying they will for our country and it’s people and not for the expats and the businesses. They may realize who put them there. Not them theirselves but God through the people! Just hope and pray Jay Ebanks and Isaac Rankine learn to be humble and stop behaving so arrogant and like they are the best thing since slice bread. Also Ralston Anglin as well, hope he doesn’t make a mess of things like he did before. Please remember anyone can be replaced.
it will be another shambles just like last time…
but no sympathy for ppm who took in the worst of the worst just to try and boost their numbers.
time for Joey to consider his position….man has failed numerous times to take advantage of an open goal…
First point of order is to ensure the opposition bench is suitably reinforced. It’s gonna be working overtime with the derrieres of JuJu, JonJon, Roy and Chris.
No PPM in ministerial seats, pinch me. Cruise referendum NO, pinch me. Let’s just enjoy this moment.
CINP-TCCP-IND. Need a shorter name.
May I humbly suggest they call themselves the CITI — Cayman Islands Temperance (or Truth!) Integration
How about PACT-2 or better yet..2-PACT ?
2-PACT is golden
Behave
Why is a name needed? They are government. Plain and simple.
Oh Good Lord, I didn’t dare hope for this magnificent outcome, and so quickly! André Ebanks is absolutely the best choice for Premier. I feel an enormous load of trepidation has just slid off my back and into the gutter where it belongs. I actually feel hopeful for the first time in quite a while. I hope we all sleep well tonight.
“I had to do what I felt was best for Cayman, not for me personally.” Sometimes it’s best not to reveal one’s inner struggles. Makes one wonder why he ran in the first place.

Might shed some light on your question.
ROFL! The reaction bar will soon turn red as the PPM zombies choke. Once again, the people gave them two licks on the backside and told them “sit down (in opposition) and hush!” 🤣🤣🤣
So you are celebrating the failure of the last four years and looking forward to four more of the same. Remember Andre, Katherine, Wayne, Heather,Jay and Isaac were all part of that PACT mess, and are forming PACT-2 or 2-PACT.
So , go ahead and laugh if you like that so much.
And because they were told to ‘sit down and hush’ the Govt debt was doubled during the last 4 years. Quite something to laugh about.
The government debt skyrocketed since PREMIER Ebanks left them to steep in their corruption. PPM leaders and their followers need to face the fact that people no longer buy their old-fashioned brand of politics. We are done being under-educated, under-employed or unemployed, while the PPM raises revenue that barely trickles down to the Caymanians on the street. Go sit in a corner and think about what you’ve done.
To add to your very correct assessment: the PPM raises revenue by SELLING OFF OUR LAND TO FOREIGN DEVELOPERS. Somehow having a surplus that the people don’t benefit from whatsoever, after literally selling out our country from underneath us, is “fiscal responsibility”.
Nevermind the fact that Roy (their Minister of Finance) stood up in front of the PAC and directly stated that he did not track how many tens of millions they gave away in concessions, nor did they track how many jobs were granted to Caymanians, or how Caymanians benefited from concessions in any fashion. The data does not exist, because they *CHOSE* not to track it.
If this group does the same thing (which I highly doubt), we will call them out on the BS as well. But PPM has proven time and time again that they are not the solution to any of our problems, unless our names happen to be Dart, Schilling, etc.
Get your facts straight. The government debt skyrocketed when André and Wayne decided to use the $300m line of credit that PPM had secured but NOT USED! They racked the debt up to over $400m before UPM took over. UPM spending may have been reckless but PACT were responsible for 90 percent of the debt increase and tried to fool the public by blaming the UPM. PPM had nothing to do with as a party.
will Andre shutdown the Brac palace….I mean high school?
I hope we (voters) learned our lesson. We have to read the Bills, give our input, discuss and give feedback on everything. Do not miss public account or finance committee. It’s or money, let’s pay attention.
I agree and do this myself but do you really believe that more than a tiny sliver of the voting population scours gov.ky? The answer is clearly NO.
As a side note, I believe I am fairly intelligent and quite adept as a researcher. Even so, finding information about specific government actions, statistics, reports, publications, etc. sometimes is a full-time job. Some ministries and departments publish information in a timely manner on their websites, but the vast majority are as transparent as those Honda Civic windscreens passing us at 75 mph on the road.
Wayne tried to increase transparency by publishing Cabinet meeting summaries in 2021. Interestingly, JOCC delayed some of her last Cabinet meeting summaries so they were released very close to the election date. Take a look at https://www.gov.ky/cabinet. Three Coastal Works Permits approved even though the DOE recommended they be rejected. I could go on and on about her subtle tactics during this election. She may have won her seat but she has been downgraded massively, to everyone’s delight.
Keep them all in order Mr Ebanks and make Cayman shine again!
I think we have seen this movie before. I am going to buy popcorn.
We got popcorn too — to watch you PPM lovers lose your shit for the next few days will be delightful! 🍿 Dan and the voters got the last laugh over Juju, Kenny, Seymour, et al. 🥃
This is the best case scenario for the majority of Caymanians.
Thanks to Andre we now have a ray of hope that we can have a erudite, well-spoken, and thoughtful representative of the Cayman Islands.
Thanks to the other members of the coalition, you have staved off the very real threat of having some real deja vu, or should that be deja ju?
Everyone can now go home, have a lovely Friday, and look forward to the long weekend. Sorry, PPM people, but please prepare to see some statesmen and women behaviors. Coalition people, don’t let us down, there’s a lot at stake.
The tarmac paver of the lesser isle, the Drug Pusher/assaulter of cops, those who believe the rising moon control women’s urges – please: STFU…! AND fade away…like Big Mac’s small fries….
# Stop the bleeding of the Public Purse on the school on the Lesser Isle. We can’t afford it nor HER avarice. Can it – NOW along with the badly dressed frequent flyer machinery operator – The accountant, DS, was SOOOO….. much better that she… but the populace of the lesser isle has been bought and PAVED for (with OUR money) for years) !!!!
# Keep the drug pusher away from…any & every thing – the people spoke and SHOUTED at you and Flat Top – on De Port…NO, NO, NO – No WAY!!! NO to the destruction of the environment, the COST overruns, the incompetence, and the brown paper envelopes…No, No, No…
# Expect the usual characters to cut and run from the PPM – “Yes, Yes we are All Individuals…”… The Paver in Chief isn’t loyal to even herself – She’s been in more Parties than a repeat fresher at 2nd year at Uni….
# Duh- WIIIINEYNE Johnny Johhny – go clean knobs and learn “ur” “ABCs”..BUT please do not show up to collect you creche fees…
MORE to come…..
Congratulations, @Gen Z!! Both the BTW and BTE are in opposition. Start looking for their replacements from now. Happy for you.
Not a good start Rolston. Remember the meaning of confidential until the governor is advised.
All we need now is for McKeeva to be elected Pope.
Beatification is what he’s best at, and not even allegedly.
Saint McKeeva of West Bay. In the future, relics will include casino chips, and the chip from his govt issued credit card.
CNS, please bring back the “LOL” button. This one’s really funny!
Hey Rollie, you gotta do what you gotta do, won’t hold it against you, I’ll just advise that you grab some duct tape from Al T, you’ll need it to hold this bunch together.
What about Air Miles Kenny? Cayman Airways revenue will be down next year!
Should be up as Kenny always flew for free.
Thank you, Lord!! No red to dread. Good riddance, Julianna! No space for you in that ship; and Kenneth, like Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman: “Mistake, bad mistake.”
Lololol
Thank goodness ! there is hope after all, work towards improving the lives of people and decisions made in the best interest of cayman and not self interest will hopefully now prevail.
Thank goodness! No ministerial seats for Saunders, John John, Kenny or Judasanna! Hopefully this coalition can steer us out of deficit and halt some of the ridiculous spending of the UPM.
Or Fancy Pants Joey!
8.27 You mean. ‘spending by PACT’. Remember the Auditor General said the Govt debt was doubled during the last four years..of PACT.
Voting shows that the majority didn’t fall for your foolishness, so you can move on to the next smear campaign. Most of that debt was accumulated during UPMs reign, and they are all flag-flying PPM members now.
Either you’re too stupid to recognize what’s right in front of your face, or you’re a paid PPM/FCCA shill. Which is it?
You fell for the foolishness. PACT doubled Caymans debt BEFORE the UPM took over. You think the auditor general lied or Andre the politician?
Hope they can keep Jay in check. Mac Junior with fries.
with the other two independents, there’s wiggle room. Plus, one of the non-toxic PPM may fancy switching allegiance once they see the light.
No PPM hallelujah!
Give it 12 months
I’d rather give it 48 months, minimum, thanks!
